Queensland Police can confirm the body of a 52-year-old man who went missing in flood waters near Tiaro earlier on Tuesday has been located.
Around 5.30am on Tuesday, police were called to a rural property on Darcys Road following reports a man had fallen from a boat into flood waters the previous evening.
A 43-year-old woman and an 8-year-old girl, who had also been in the boat, managed to cling to foliage after it capsized, before raising the alarm.
Following an extensive response involving Police and Fire and Rescue Service swift water rescue crews, the 52-year-old man was located deceased around 11.00am approximately 200 metres from where he went missing.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
